The Merlot-driven blend reveals a deep ruby in the glass, the nose shows spicy notes with a floral lift. The palate leans slightly dilute, yet carries attractive red and black fruits. Oak-driven tannins shape the texture, giving some grip and structure. Lingers well, showing potential for development.

Based on 80% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Clos Des Jacobins has a charming, pleasure-bent style in its darker berries, leafy tobacco, and chocolatey, spicy wood-like nuances. It brings the rounder, forward, supple style on the palate, and it's going to drink nicely right out of the gate. It's impressive, and I love its level of ripeness and texture.

This has good depth of fruit for the vintage, showing spiced berries, minerals and a touch of paprika. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a juicy finish.

Anfangs verhalten, weniger expressiv als andere Weine, jedoch mit Tiefgang; rauchige Noten über Kirschen und Pflaumen; gradlinger Gaumen, leichter Körper, delikate Frucht, die Tannine machen sich erst ganz am Schluss bemerkbar, sind präsent, nobel im Hintergrund; gute aromatische Länge. Den Jahrgang gut interpretiert.

The 2024 Clos des Jacobins has a light bouquet with blackberry, redcurrant fruit and nicely integrated oak. The palate is well balanced with a keen bead of acidity. Whilst not a complex Saint-Émilion, there is a sense of poise and a bit more substance on the finish compared to its peers.

The 2024 Clos des Jacobins is a pleasant, fruity Saint-Émilion. Juicy dark cherry, plum, espresso, mocha, incense and dried herbs are nicely pushed forward. This mid-weight, open-knit Saint-Émilion offers tons of immediacy and pure pleasure to match. Tasted two times.

Medium-bodied, forward, fruity, and already fun, as well as easy to taste, you can open and enjoy this on the young side for all of its fruit, and minty-freshness. Drink from 2027-2038.

In a vintage where fruit expression is relatively subdued, Clos des Jacobins still makes a clear effort to bring out its aromatics. Raspberry and red plum may not be as sweet or exuberant as in previous years, but their bright, lifted profile remains appealing. The tannins are handled with ease, without relying on oak to build structure. Instead, a small amount of tannin moves gently across the palate, creating a relaxed and pleasing tasting experience.

Strong ruby, purple reflexes, broad rim brightening. Floral nuances, fresh heart cherry, a hint of orange zest, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, mineral texture, fresh structure, delicately salty, remains persistent, a promising food companion.
